iPhone snatched near Lake View East hotel

Two male suspects are in police custody after a woman’s cell phone was snatched near a North Side hotel, said authorities.

Around 8:43 p.m., a woman was robbed of her iPhone in Chicago’s Lake View East neighborhood, according to police dispatch reports.

One report indicated the incident occurred in front of the Best Western at 3434 North Broadway, at Broadway and Hawthorne.

A subsequent police dispatch report suggested the cell phone was stolen near the intersection of Broadway and Aldine - several blocks south of the hotel.

At the time of this report, the exact location of the robbery wasn't immediately clear.

The offenders were described as two black males.

One thief was wearing a white tank top and carrying a blue shirt.

The other mugger was wearing a white t-shirt and carrying a gray shirt.

At approximately 8:46 p.m., police apprehended both suspects at 3540 North Broadway.

Authorities did not say if they recovered the victim's cell phone.

    Segregation is probably worth a second look.

  2. I saw the mugging, it was on Melrose and Broadway, and the subsequent immediate police response after the 911 call. Minutes after the 911 call the police arrived and stated they had caught the suspects and helped the lady who was mugged.

    The police were polite, very fast and caught the suspects all in a matter of minutes. I was very impressed with the CPD. Thanks.

    1. Wow nice to hear good things about CPD. Glad they got the robbers.

      I bet they lived on the southside and had no legitimite business in LV.

  4. Yeah good job police. Just based on my personal experience the "trouble spots" seem to be closer to Belmont.

    Here's my opinion though.....after the black woman with her brats in tow having a LOUD "3-way" ghetto conversation on her phone on the #36 the other day and the old white man with a Napolean Complex having a LOUD conversation in the store today.....we need to be "snatching" more of these phones out of Chicagoan's hands. Lest we forget the "movie star" wannabe in an SUV with her brats lined up with the highest car seats available blowing through intersections oblivious that other people actually live in the city and are crossing the street..........

    Yeah, "Snatch" 'em and stomp on 'em. There could be other "motives" behind these "snatchings" ya know.

  6. I just Got ROBBED for my Phone On wells and Evergreen in Old town- the Black Man Pushed my Dog and I off my bike and then a silver car drove up and he hopped in it with 3 other black guys. IT was a silver 4 door older model car. What do I do? The police came.. Acted like they did not really care. I told them the care JUST turned right on WELLS and they should have been able to get them it was 5 seconds later. I am so upset. chicago is awful . The crime here is out of control.

  7. You Lakeview Assholes need a better status symbol than your fucking iphones. Sheesh, stolen iphones are always the BIG NEWS on this blog. No wonder Chicago will never be a world-class city. You folks are fucking losers. That's why you can't get the fucking Olympics, even when your President begs for them.

  8. It isn't a status symbol. I use it for that thing called work.

  9. I think the people who always refer to them as "status symbols" are just jealous broke bitches.

    And in a way they are trying to implicate the victims to be at fault in their own robbery.
    It's as if they're saying
    "how dare you have nice things"!
